More great news! Purity has won two gold medals at the recent SIBA (Society of Independent Brewers) Midlands Region Beer competition 2008 which was judged on Thursday 9 October.
Our easy drinking Pure Gold (3.8%) topped the ‘Bitter & Pale Ale’ category whilst our new (soon to be launched) cask ale Mad Goose (4.2%) managed to scoop gold for the ‘Best Bitters’ category. Not bad for beer that isn’t officially available yet!
